Let down by stability and interface problems

I love the idea of this game and when it works it is pretty good fun. It is let down by problems navigating some of the in game menus. Scroll bars are fiddly to use on iPad and I imagine impossible on an iPhone. The game often crashes, for example on my two hour train journey to work it will crash most days. Having said that the game is fun could be brilliant just remember to save often and if possible use a stylus to overcome fiddly scroll bars.

It could have been good

Inexcusable bugs for a relatively expensive game. When auctioning horses the game doesn't seem to register reserve prices or just won't credit the money to your account, as such it's very easy to run out of money and end up with no horses. Additionally the game is very poorly designed, apparently this is the iPad version of a PC game, they should have made sure their iPad game worked properly before selling, very slopping when you're charging people £6 a pop!

Annoyed I can't get my money back.

Want to like it but...

Not designed at all for iPad, basic functionality like finger scrolling is not there which makes it hard to engage with.

A redesign with tablet usability front of mind would make it a killer, but without that it is hard to engage with if you've never played PC version.

Given the above its way too expensive.
